With basic ingredients butter, egg, flour, and sugar, we can make a very delicious cake! I think that the person who invented pound cake is a genius ^^.
Now, from the basic recipe, we can create any type of cake that different in texture and taste. And with a bit of baking powder, we can spend less time beating the butter and sugar too.
For this recipe, you can see that the weight of the ingredients is not equal, esp. the butter and egg. I really recommend weighting the egg as more egg your cake won't be delicious dense (from butter).
If you want the top of your cake to crack in the center, cut the top of the in the center after baking for 15-20 minutes. Anyway, the cake will crack freely if you don't cut it, haha, so this step is not necessary.
Pound cake will be richer if you warp it and keep it overnight before eating, but I rarely have a chance to keep it as the lovely buttery fragrance is too tempting for me ^^.
